So I am trying to figure out what is going one with my outboard motor I can put it in full down in drive and reverse and still can turn it with my hands
Hey great video and very informative as always! I a quick question, my outboard when going into reverse won’t click in as usual so the RPM increases as I put back the throttle and then she clicks into reverse at high RPM. Have you any experience or solution with this problem? Iv only had the boat on the water two days and my heart is broken 😅🫣
Those wires are just to control your throttle cables but i believe you have a bad clutch dog. It may be cause by adjusted higher RPM and by shifting into Fwd gear it grinds your clutch and wore down over time. Hope this helps!
@dpetersontube if your familiar with your outboard lower unit it will be a breeze. Otherwise take pictures, place it down orderly or whatever it takes to remember how to put it together. Goodluck!
@@yellamamba4554 drain LU oil, remove prop, 5 bolts hold LU in place, but to get prop shaft out I will need to remove the shift lever rod in front of the water pump assembly - correct? If so, does that come out fairly easily? And should it be in gear or in neutral? Thanks.
@@dpetersontube ok I tried it didn’t work I’ve been told that my lower units gears are shot so I’m just gonna have to buy a new motor thank you for your help
Lol great video and easy for a 101 Marine Mechanic to understand🤓 Thanks!!! 👍👍👍
Mecury 115 not going into gear

When in forward gear it locks counter clockwise
So reverse is opposite?
False. The dog gets locked in when switched to gear and won't move either way

Is it difficult to install a new clutch dog?

Dangar marine channel has a good one on this
What does this mean is wrong with the motor because mine is doing the same thing and I would like to fix it?
the gear cables get stretched out over time and occasionally need minor adjustments to engage fully in forward and reverse

@@daxpack3251 Probably your dog clutch and forward gear be cheaper to replace them or even get a new lower unit than buying a whole motor
@@daxpack3251 Also put a score on your prop and prop nut check for slipping there
@@connorcornell2933 I could but this motor has also been nothing but trouble so I thing it would probably just be better
